ive seen the hdmi hook ups for cell phones to connect to tv's and now that they are available, shouldn't cell phones have a different jack to charge into since the only one is being used??

The hdmi doesn't charge it?

They make adapters that charge and have an hdmi port.

You may likely need an MHL to HDMI adapter. Not sure how well these things work but its worth a shot. Of course if you have a smart TV you can connect your phone to the tv with 0 cords.

They do? Haven't seen those.. Just seen the Mico to hdmi to plug into the TV.. But you're saying it will do both simultaneously?

Gotta get me one of them.. Thanks guys! Oh I don't have a smart TV

Why can't you just use a wall charger?

The power adapter for the hdmi connection is only needed for older TV that do not have a MHL compliant HDMI inputs. If your TV supports MHL, it should charge the device for you.

I'm wanting to use my phone to connect to the TV to play what is on my phone but don't want it to die.. Want to do both at the same time

Not sure exactly what that means?

Basically, some TVs have a port marked HDMI/MHL. If you use that port, you will be able to xmit media from your phone to your TV and the TV will charge your phone at the same time

No problem
If it is an older TV with the MHL 1.0 standard, it may not charge your phone all that great because it will only output 0.5A

I was wanting it mostly for the tvs at the hotel in livonia when I'm up there.. They have LG tvs but not sure of the ports.. We'll see tonight.

My phone had a HDMI output that is separate from the power port.
